The Cumberland Army.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE eigh-
teenth reunion of the Society of the
Army of Cumberland was inaugurated
this morning by business meeting.
Elaborate preparations have been made
by the committee in charge, for the en-
tertainment of members and guests OF

statue of General James A. Garfield, ON
Thursday.
At IL O'Clock, the president of the
society, General Sheridan, called the
meeting to order and explained that
the postponement from time to time of
the eighteenth reunion was due to
delay in the completion of the Garfield
statue. it being the desire of the society
to conduct the unyeiling ceremonies at
this meeting. There were about 100
members of the society present. The
reports of the commission were read
and approved.
The president announced the mem
bers OF several committees for the COM
ing year, and the meeting adjourned.
The election of officers of the society
will take place tomorrow morning.
Just before adjournment, General Cist

sired that the Society of the Army of
the Cumberland should nominally take

nounce it to the committee tomorrow.

The Pacific Railroad Investigation.

The Pacific Railroad Investigation.
New YORK, May 1f.-Yesterday the
Pacific commits ion mmunicated with
Senator Mcpherson, CT New Jersey,
desiring him to furnish what informa-
to- he may be possessed of regarding
the Pacific Railway Company. This re-
quest was the result of a recently pub
llshed interview with Senator McPher-
son, IN which he said the investigation
was superficial The first witness
to-day, Ames, testified that he was Sec
rotary and treasurer of the Missouri
Pacific, Iron Mountain, st. Louis g.
Fort Scott roads, and so many minor
roads that he could not remember the
names of all. He was secretary of the
Kansas Pacific in 1880. He never kept
the accounts of the Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific pool, or issued Ger.
tificates. He supposed he was present
and witnessed the articles of the con-
soiidation between the Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific, but did not remem-
Der. A copy of the ratification
OF the consolidation, signed by the
stockholders, was shown witness. His
certificate to the ratification was dated
April, whereas the consolidation had
been made in the preceding January.
He kept the ratification at his Office to
get signers. He supposed the sigma
lures to have been obtained before the
act of consolidation, because they
should have been obtained. Witness
remembered the transfer of the 29, 956
shares of the Denver Pacific to the
Kansas Pacific. He did not know how
the road pooled with them, but thought
they went to Gould, though he could
not say what securities Gould put
up for them. Generally speak
Ing, his memory was extremely poor.
Addison Commack. a well-known
stockhofder, was the next witness. He
was q director of both the Kansas
Pacific and the Union Pacific roads at
the time of the consolidation. With
James Z. Keene, he was a member of
the syndicate which purchased a large
block of Union Pacific shares from Jay
Gould, and by this arrangement they
were made directors of both COMPANIES.
Ee as present at the meetings of the
directors OF the Union Pacific aud Kan
sas Pacific at the time OF the cOnsolida-
ton. In the Union Pacific directors
meeting he voted for tie consoli-
dat1on; did not know what he
did IN the Kansas Pacific meeting. He
voted for consolidation because the
Kansas Pacific was a competing line,
AID the union of interests would pre-
vent ruinous cut in rates, and in
crease the earnings of both corpora
tons. He knew nothing of the condi-
tleh of the Kansas Pacific read. He
only desired to see the roads prosper.

Northwest Seeding Complete.

ST. PAUL, May H. The crop report
from sixty counties in Minnesota, forty
in Dakota and thirty-fve in Iowa, show
that seeding throughout the northwest
is now completed and, under the cir
cumstances, more favorable than in any
previous season tor years. Fair weather
is only needed to produce an
other magnificent crop of wheat, and if
the present condition holds good.
barring, of course, all accidents of
weather, the crops harvested next fall
will eclipse anything produced in
Minnesota and Dakota. The acreage
in Minnesota last year, as reported by
the Agricultural Department. was g.
OCT $50 acres, with an average of Ii
bushels per acre. making a total crop
of 42S, 100000 bushels. The increase in
the State this year will probably
amounts to per cent, or about 175, COO
acres, and in Dakota the government re-
turns show 2 ,665 $50 acres averaging lis
bushels per acre, giving an aggregate of
| &c, 704 600 bushels. The increase in
acreage this year will probably be as
| high as Is per cent, or about 100000
acres. Taking into consideration a
more favorable condition of the ground
| at seeding time, and with an average
yield, Dakota will probably have over
IS 600 900 bushels this year. So, with
anything like favorable weather from
row till harvest, the total yield of
Minnesota and Dakota combined will
aggregate between 81, COO 600 and 90 900 :
600 bushels. Seeding was completed ten
days earlier than usual, and the reports
are unanimous of excellent condition
of the ground. According to reports re-
ceived from moe important points,
there is a decrease in the acreage of
wheat in many places, owing to low
prices and the fear of chinch bugs.
